OUR COLLEGES BEHIND THE TIMES.
Too Much Latin and Greek and Not Enough
of Modern Thought.

Too Much Latin and Greek and Not Enough
of Modern Thought.
c. s. Ashley in August Popular Science Monthly.
We live in an age of unparalleled passion
pulse. and power"-an age with gigantic
problems suddenly laid on it. Our civilization
is chiefly industrial, and the railway, the fac
elements of our social life Would any one be-
lieve a priori that under these circumstances
our colleges would be still haegline over the
Greek and Latin question. and that only of
them in the entire country should
give instruction railway transportation. the
most important subject now before the public
and the also on which there is such vast
ignorancel This. however, is only one instance
of the disgusting narrowness of the professional
intellect stimulated" by endowments.
Everywhere we find total want of connection
between the colleges-especiaiiy those old and
rich-and the life of the people. Go into uni
versity library and. after listening to the COM
plants of the librarian about the paltry sums at
his disposal you will find splendid and expensive
editions of Percys "Reliques," SCOTS Dryden"
hundreds of volumes of pedantic discussion about
Shakespeare, and you will look in vain probably
for the great newspapers which so faithfully re-
fleet the Nations life. and Bradstreet's, The
Railroad Gazette and frequently even The Gen.
fury Harper's The Forum and The Popular
Science Monthly will also be wanting. Recent
American literature ia treated with with similar
disdein. The want of direct responsibility to
the public is felt in all directions When rail-
way corporation discovers that man is incom-
petent it discharges him; newspaper takes care
OF to retain poor writer's. But no Incapacity is
so great that college position oncs gained need
be lost. Go through any of our great in
stitution and you will find that year after year
the same complaints have been made by stu
regarding their instructors. These have
produced no effect. because the stimnlus of duty
not REINFORCED by interest is not sufficient. II
is a dsagreeable thing to discharge a man. and
it is not done wnen tho authorities have per-
sonal interest in the matter Thus college pro-
fessorships in this country come to pass shown
frequently in the ''livings' OF the English
church-mere sinecures, involving little labor.

TALK WITH REV. MYRON W. REED.
His Observations During a Brief Sojourn in
the South-Prohibitio Sentiment.

Rev. Myron W. Reed reached this city last
evening and stopped at the New Denison Hotel,
on his way east from Hot Springs, where he has
been spending q week or Two OF his vacation.
Speaking of summer trips. he said he had
found them of great use in enlarging his
Tact and acquaintance with men of ideas. There
is always something to be said or done to point
. moral and adorn q tale. MY short Eu-
ropeal trip of last year" he continued. twas Of

colored people who are prohibi tionists. So alb

Old Shoes "WOrked Over"

One OF the curious industries of New
York is the rehabilitation of old shoes,
the cast-off kind gathered from the ash
heaps and refuge of the streets. A regu-
lar market for these is found in the cob
blers' Easements along Baxter and Null
berry streets-more particularly in the
region known as "The Bend This re-
iected stock is worked over by the shoe
makers, mended and patched so as TO be
water tight, and then blacked to the
brilliancy of stove polish. Long rows
of them may be seen displayed on the
boards in front of the cobbler shops in
''The Bend" glistening in the moonday
sun with dazzling brightness. A small
boy, generally one of the scions of the
paternal son of Crispin, stands at their
side in the double character of guardian
or salesman, though the former duty is
often discharged by the osclllating sales
man in charge Of the stock of cheap
clothing on the floor above, who halloos
down the basement to the proprietor
whenever a would-be customer for the
shoes stops TO make an investment.
Prices for this strange merchandise range
from seventy-fve cents up to 81. so a

tuberculosis is derived from latin word

various size, from that of a millet seed
to that of large grapes, and sometimes
an aggregation of tubercles form a mass
weighing a pound or more. They are
all too large to be found in milk or but

for determining the presence of the dis

naked eye, but doubted cases may need
the microscope to determine their true
nature. Animals sometimes fatten we'll
